The manager Tina is amazing. She is very customer service oriented. I am a traveling nurse and she made the process easy and was always there if I needed anything. The location is beautiful but I did not like the dirt road to get to the RV park. That’s the only downfall.
We stayed here July 19 & 20 while on our way to Wisconsin and Minnesota. Don't let the drive down several miles of dusty road in a rural area deter you from camping here. This campground is beautiful, park-like and the sites are spacious! All the sites are 50 amp and we have a 30 amp trailer. They loaned us an adapter; but if you prefer, they keep some for sale at a reasonable price. One of the prettiest and cleanest parks we've stayed in.
If you like the country this is the place to be. Beautiful fields of green and gold. The colors here in the fall are spectacular. It is very quiet and serene. Very much family oriented. Plenty of space for the children to play on the playground where the parents don’t have to worry about their safety. Other than no Wi-Fi it’s an awesome place to stay. I’ve been almost five months and I will definitely come back.
We just stayed the weekend at River Oaks RV Park. This really is an exceptional campground. The sites are extremely spacious and the whole campground is well maintained. I read some previous posts about the gravel road and narrow corners being a concern for some. We pull a 40ft 5th wheel and had no problems driving in late at night long after the sun set. I don't know for sure, but it seemed like there were a number of seasonal campers. Everyone we met was welcoming. The campground was one of the quietest campgrounds we've stayed at. We would definitely camp at River Oaks RV Park again.
We've camped here twice in 2023 and loved them both. It's a very nicely maintained park, with beautiful trees. The pond is scenic, though we didn't catch any fish. The kiddos had a blast either way. We all enjoyed the trick-or-treating fun this year and decorating the camper for our last camping weekend of the season. Many memories made and we'd be happy to come again! Full hook-ups make things SO much easier!
